My muse's gaze fell upon the vast digital ocean, and so I let 'er go.

Six Sentence Sunday #7

Neal stands onstage with his girlfriend April. She’s really nervous being in front of several thousand people, he’s really nervous about what he’s getting ready to ask her. Here, he addresses himself to her though he’s holding a microphone.

“You are the light of my life, the brightest star in my sky. I sure hope this isn’t as lame as the first time.”

He fumbled with the ring in his pocket; a shaking hand did make things difficult. April tilted her head, watching him.

The first time he asked her—it sure didn't seem like only a year ago—he’d gotten down on both knees, she’d reached out, and pushed him over into the sand. Onstage, he wasn’t close enough to the edge to fall off if she did it again, but it would hurt like hell.

Hi Jamie, so nice of you to stop by! She said no before because she was smart enough to realize they were both feeling vulnerable. Since then, Neal's realized she was right, and is hoping to show her this time that he knows full well what he's doing.Thanks for asking. J
